Solidarity Mission Travel to Israel
In the wake of recent events, we acknowledge the widespread desire to make a positive impact and express solidarity with the people of Israel in their time of need. Responding to this collective sentiment, FTI is introducing a new program for those seeking to contribute actively to the support and rebuilding of Israeli communities.

- Address labor shortages & food waste through agricultural volunteer work.
- Visit hospitals & non-profit organizations to learn about the incredible work they are doing each day.
- Meet with Israeli government officials to discuss their community healing plans.
- Interact with the Tel Aviv community, explore Israeli culture & support local vendors at the Hatikva Market.
- Package & deliver essential supplies to people from the Gaza perimeter kibbutzim and towns.
- Attend ceremonies to remember & honor October 7th’s fallen soldiers.
- & More.
Safety
Understanding that safety concerns have led many groups to cancel their upcoming tours to Israel, we want to assure you that if you decide to plan a solidarity mission with FTI, your safety will be our top priority. We are committed to closely monitoring the state of Israel both before and during your travels. Throughout your time in Israel, our experienced guides will enforce safety procedures to ensure a secure experience for your group.
Additionally, FTI has a 24-hour helpline, so you will always have access to help in case of travel emergencies.
Solidarity Mission Itineraries
Itineraries are customizable because we recognize that each group has a unique relationship with Israel and may want to help in different ways. The minimum size for a group is 10 passengers, but individuals will also have the opportunity to participate in a pre-organized solidarity mission February 4-8, 2024.
Please note that itineraries may be subject to change due to the state’s evolving needs and unforeseen circumstances arising. For a sample itinerary or to start planning, please reach out to your FTI advisor or request a quote online.
